A Fresh Coat of Paint

As anyone who's been been to our house in the last couple of years (!) knows, the exterior has come into sad disrepear. We finally got our butts into gear and decided to do something about it. We got a couple of estimates and a few months (!) later decided to go with Austin Allen, who'd done work on Tim's house. I'd never know how to pick a contractor (Yellow Pages feels like playing roulette) so it was great to have someone with a personal reference.

Austin, of AHA Woodworks, did not disappoint. He spent several days fixing and replacing rotted trim, fascia and siding. He practically rebuilt our chimney. His painting subcontractor Pedro and his guys then spent a couple of days prepping and caulking before laying a couple of coats of paint. I didn't know what to hope for, since some of the siding had gotten quite bad towards the ground, but the results are stunning. The exterior looks like a new house -- and the quality of the work is probably better than what you get with a lot of new construction.

So, if you're in the Austin area and need someone to do some house repair or remodeling, I highly recommend Austin Allen, (512) 657-6811.
